    IMO, I feel Lewis did about everything a little better than Wlad. And he wasn't near as chinny or subject to react the way Wlad did when things weren't going his way.

    They were close to the same age in their final fights as well. Except Lewis stopped the next dominant HW in Vitali, while Wlad lost to guys with inconsistent careers.

    You'd have to be half a vegetable to not understand it's both Lewis' fight to lose and yet a very abruptly losable fight.

    Lewis will definitely win the poll anything less than 80% the votes would be a surprise.

    Wladimir was a solid technician and had some serious power, but I can't imagine him actually exchanging with Lewis. It would definitely be a jab and grab Fest, I usually go with better boxers in these scenarios and I think LL would win this by late rounds KO.

    Got to go with Lewis,apart from his two upset losses Lewis was certainly more durable than Wlad and as mentioned better in every department imo .

    Lewis was not only technically better than Wlad, he also was much more often fighter.

    Even if Wlad was able to out box Lewis, bearing in mind Mercer and Bruno could both outjab him pre Steward.

    So even if Wlad could begin to dictate the bout, Lewis would walk through fire and push his **** all the way in.

    Lennox would easily stand up to Wlad's sneaky inside tactics and stop him.

    Hi mate. I hear you and I do know that Steward spoke very highly of Wlad.
    It's all subjective isn't it, but Lewis is, IMO, a more dangerous fighter with much more dog in him. I think he has more ways to win. And is a proven operator at a higher level. I'm probably the wrong person to ask on this one to be honest, as I'm not a particular Wlad fan. I watched both their careers unfold in real time and I think Lewis is head and shoulders above in pretty much every metric. But I respect the fact that you may not agree - or see it as clear cut as me. Take it easy

    It's probably a great fight until it ends abruptly and violently. You get one shotted twice and then find yourself staring across a ring at Wlad... that can't be a good feeling. Then again, you get smashed to bits by Corrie Sanders then find yourself staring across a ring at Lennox... that also can't be a good feeling.

    I wouldn't really call Lewis a glass cannon, but I think he's effectively a glass cannon when in with a puncher like Wlad. And Wlad is a glass cannon at all times. So it's one of those fights where it's really impossible to predict what would happen. Other than someone would be knocked out, and it would probably be a pretty sickening knockout. One of the ones where you're like "****, is he ok?"
